About 23 St Johns Road

A sheltered town garden with a country feel. An old Victorian brick wall, south-facing, gives protection to interesting climbers. On the opposite shady side there are shade-loving plants – Epimedium, Brunnera., Pulmonaria and masses of spring bulbs. The bog garden by the wildlife pond hosts plants which revel in moisture – Trollius, Filipendula and Rodgersia. Two greenhouses provide extra warmth and give propagation opportunities. At the far end of the garden we have converted a shed into an outdoor kitchen – great for NGS Open Days and family entertaining! Dahlias, Cannas and Tetrapanax provide late colour and foliage interest. A revolving summerhouse catches the sun, and shelters gardeners and visitors on rainy days. There are always plenty of plants for sale – come and see for yourself!
